Chapter 217: Lord and Savior



When stepping down the steps, Adam noticed the troubled-looking receptionist by the counter and walked over to her.

"What's up?" He leaned over the counter and saw the receptionist carry a packet of some sort.

"S-sir Adam!" Lydia exclaimed.

"You can just call me Adam." He said and looked at the packet. "A packet?"

"Yes..." Lydia said. "I am supposed to take this to Copper Tree Guild, but I have no idea where that is."

"You don't have a map?" Adam asked.

"No, it's ridiculously expensive." Lydia said with a sigh. "To think that the prize of the knowledge in this world is so high."

"I can deliver the package." Adam took the package and felt that it was pretty light.

"You will?" Lydia asked with starry expression.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Yeah, I'll need to buy a map of this place either way." Adam said with a smile, and after bidding farewell to the receptionist, he left the building and walked out into the bustling

streets.

While he didn't know where the Copper Tree Guild was located, because he didn't think that guild existed in a few years's time, he decided to go buy a map quick.

The map should have the location of every guild in the city.

He still remembered the location of the map shop, where he originally asked directions to Crimson Hounds place; thus, he arrived there in no time and noticed that this time around there was no one blocking the entrance.

When he was about to arrive by the store, a person suddenly walked out of the store, holding a map in his hand with an unnatural smile on his face, as if he were ecstatic about something.

However, then he noticed blood on his hand and the person's face.

While the face looked younger than in his memory, Adam recognized him!

Without any hesitation, Adam hid behind a corner and watched as the person walked away into the crowd.

'Why is he here? Ishaan of the Wild Sons, righthand man of Victor.'

He remembered vividly as he was in constant combat with Wild Sons during the Second Great Guild War.

Ishaan was particularly memorable.

Adam left the corner and ran inside the map shop-it looked normal with maps neatly put on the shelves.

However, there was a thick scent of blood in the air.

When he walked over to the backroom, he saw a pile of corpses there each one of them missing their eyes and manhood.

This was why Ishaan was so memorable to him.

He did the same thing in the Second Great Guild War.

The worst part was that he cut their eyes and manhood when they were still alive so that they would remember the pain when they return to the real world.

'It is the same Ishaan I know. Why the hell is he here?'

"A-alright..." he said with a voice full of pain and approached the door.

Victor hid behind the corner and pulled out a short dagger from his belt.

Timothy, Aarush, and Ishaan covered the mouths of the rest of the family.

With racing heartbeat, the father of the family opened the door and forced a smile.

"Hey, how may I help you?"

"Hello." Adam said with a smile. "Have you ever heard of our Lord and Savior, God

Almighty?"

By the back room, Ishaan scoffed. "A fucking member of that shitty church."

Victor was slightly relaxed, but his senses were still vigilant.

"O-oh, I-I am already a member of the church." The father of the family said.

"Oh, that's wonderful." Adam smiled. "May I enter and we can talk about possibly donating

to the church?"

"No!" The father suddenly shouted and then cleared his throat. "I mean, no. We were just

about to have dinner. Y'know, the dinner is sacred."

"Yes, yes, of course." Adam nodded, and then, with a quick glance, saw the small hole by the

floor. "Is your family home?"

"N-no..." The father shook his head.

"But you just said we?" Adam said.

"I-I mean, yes, haha." The father laughed nervously. "It's been a long day, and I am very

hungry. If there's nothing else..."

As he was about to close the door, Adam stopped him and said, "May the eternal light of the

Almighty bless you."

"Y-you too..." The father said and then closed the door.

With a deep sigh, he walked over to Victor and said. "I-It was just a member of the church."

"You did good-" Victor was about to say.

At that moment, the window of the living room shattered and a long-bladed sword cut through the air. It went through three necks before the swing ended.

Timothy's, Aarush's, and Ishaan's heads rolled off their shoulders and landed on the ground.

"Wha-"The father of the family exclaimed.

Victor's eyes shrunk, and he quickly stepped to the side, but the sword still stabbed through his shoulder, blade piercing his flesh and causing a sharp, searing pain. Through the window, a person stepped through and pulled the sword back to his hand. "Hello," Adam pointed his sword at Victor. "Have you ever heard of our Lord and Savior?"
